Rice Project - University of California Cooperative Extension

Improving productivity and environmental sustainability

Nearly one-half the world's population depends on rice for food. An ideal climate and a high level of sophisticated technology have given rise to California's unique water-seeded method of rice production, which produces the highest average annual rice yields in the world. The University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Rice Research and Information Program was created to address important issues on rice and to provide the general public (especially California rice growers) with up-to-date knowledge and technologies on rice production.
